How many times the average speed of the molecules in a gas becomes when the temperature is raised fr — States of Matter and Gaseous State Chemistry Question

💡 Solution & Explanation

average speed is directly ∝ √t. t1 = 27 + 273 = 300 k. t2 = 159 + 273 = 432 k. ratio of average speeds = √(t2 / t1) = √(432 / 300) = √1.44 = 1.2.
